John sherman and the Queen

Washington Post: l was talking with
Senator Sherman Friday on the Des-
patch that was conveying the queen of
the Sand wioh Islands to Mount Vernon.
He glanced across the shrouds at her
tawny majesty, to whom he had lust
been assigned by Seyellon Brown as an
escort to shore and TO dinner, and said
We'll! This tends to erase the color
line. This lady is darker than the
average of American negroes. Yet why
should people shun her or think OF
treating her with disrespect ?--or, rather,
why shouldn't they, if there is anything
Id color alone? The fact is, educated
and travelled men are ontgrowing q
foolish prejudice. When I was talking
with Gov. Aiken recently in the
parlors OF Charleston hotel,
ia delegation of colored men ap.
preached. I didn't know what they
wanted, but inferring that they wanted
to speak with me l went forward and
met them. They were a committee
from o local republican club there, and
called to present their compliments,
etc. shook hands with the delegation
and then presented them to Coy. Aiken,
who also shook hands with them and
treated them cordially. He didn't seem
to know anything about any color line

the vessel, stepping down a little ladder

majesty showed a keen sense of the

funny in almost everything, and drawing
down her rebellious face to hide hel

The Officers Believe that the Gipsies
Stole the Stock.

As remarked in these columns before
the thieving. lying, begging band of Clip.
sizes has disappeared from this section.
A couple of horses have also disappeared.
Whether the emigration of the alleged
romantic, nomandic and thrifty foreigners
has anything to dc with the absence OF
a span of work horses is not certain, but
it is generally believed that those gipsies
are at present cartinR their belongings
about the country in a stolen wagon drawn
by animals not their rlRhtful property.
Late Wednesday night, or very early
Thursday morning, the dusky aliens de.
parted from their camp near the fair
grounds, bears and all. The course they
took is unknown.
Wednesday night a team of bay horses
was stolen from the ranch of Mr.. Nc
Sweeney, but a few miles below this city,
near the Denver branch of the Union
Pacific railway. A thorough search Gov
ering many miles failed to reward the
men who hunted for the stolen animals.
Sheriff Sharpless was informed of the
circumstance of the occurrence, and in
structed a deputy to spare no effort tend
ing to the recovery of the horses, The
officials were as unsuccessful as the civil
ians. and the animals are still missing.
The loss is very distressing to the Nc
Sweeney family, as the team, under the
care of a SOB. was their ouly means of
support, and had been placed at the dis
posal of the boy by a brother in-law in
Denver, who can i'll afford the loss.
Wednesday night a horse belonging
to Mr.. M. Sullivan, together with a dou-
BILE set of almost new harness, was stolen
from that gentleman's stable at Archer,
eight miles east of this city. Thursday
afternoon the horse was found tethered
to a snow fence less than a mile from
Cheyenne, while the harness was discov-
cred near but almost concealed from view
by a pile of rubbish. The animal and
trappings were doubtlessly placed there
by parties who intended to return and
convey them elsewhere. If it was the
work of Gipsies, and it greatly resembles
their method of stealing horses, it was a
characteristic action for them to suddenly
alter then. plans and travel in another di-
rection.
While the officers and others have
been searching for the missing horses
they have also been on the lookout for
the fortune telling and performing bear
combination, but so far have been unable
to locate either.

AS several children were playing in the
vacant lot Just west of the Post Percher-
on's large stable on Eighteenth street yes
terday afternoon, one of the number, a
boy about 10 years old, fell into a deserted
well near the south end of the lot. His
companions fastened to the barn for re-
lief and one of the employees about that
establishment soon rescued the lad, who
was more frightened than injured.
The hole into which the child fell is
about ten feet deep and one approaching
will scarcely notice the pitfall, rags and
weeds almost concealing it from view.
Less than three months ago a wandering
COW stumbled into the well and was re-
moved only after a great deal Of work on
the part of her rescuers. 1t would be a
good idea for the authorizes to compel
the owner of the lot to either fill or cover
his trap before a serious accident occurs.

The department of Colorado, G. A. R.,
will be well represented at the grand ma
tional encampment in St. Louis this
week. The delegation will consist of
not less than $50 members of the order,
their families and friends.
The Wyoming wing will not be indie
%scernable, though not very strong numer-
ically. The Cheyenne party left via Den
yer yesterday morning and comprised:
County Clerk Jeffrey, 7. NJ. Fisher and
wife, James Julien and wife, Nick Wink
Ter and George Currier. Several mem
bers OF the order from Laramie and other
western towns joined the party here. The
department of Colorado delegation left
Denver aboard a special train last
night.
The programme prepared by the citi-
zens of st. Louis for the entertainment is
a lengthy and elaborate one. 1t includes
competitive drills, monster parades, etc.
While the spectacle of thousands of
aged union soldiers in line is not so i'm,
posing or grand a display as afforded by
the appearance of magnifcently uniform
ed secret societies, it is a more patriotic
and American parade.
